A debate between Satterberg and Sherman

I spent about an hour yesterday talking with King County prosecutor candidates Dan Satterberg and Bill Sherman. We recorded the debate/discussion and it's posted on The Times Web site this morning. I tried to get the candidates to move beyond the rhetoric that has dominated the race. The Cliff Notes version of that would be:

Satterberg: Norm
Sherman: Democrat

I think we succeeded in part at least. The candidates talked about the death penalty and gun control. And I was surprised to hear some agreement between them on those issues. For example, neither are interested in lobbying the Legislature to require background checks for people who buy weapons at gun shows.

Take a listen.
